Chapter 163: A Failed Media Propaganda War in a Certain Country
For Prime Minister Abe Ichijo, who learned of the shocking secrets of Xinhuaguo, after repeatedly checking and verifying the information provided by the intelligence department countless times and confirming that it was correct, after a short period of thought, he finally found a new way out of the current crisis of the empire's life and death!
After all, it is more than the extremely crazy so-called "Yaqi Great Snake Extermination Plan" proposed by the Chief of Military Staff Taro Miyamoto for the major population gathering areas in the mainland of Xinhua and the even more unreliable "Decisive Battle Plan of the Local Chief Jade". Prime Minister Abe Ichijo believes that military means are not the only best option to win the war. As long as he uses his power to disseminate these very special information through the state media machine, then after a period of fermentation, this incident will surely win the full support of the people of the world for the common hatred of foreign invaders.
The visceral fear of the unknown, the complete confusion of subverting one's own cognition and values, and the negative factors of the malicious propaganda of aliens in Hollywood blockbusters over the years, etc., may all contribute to the rise of this incident to the point of no control! Individual human beings may be very receptive to the unknown, but when a group of people know such a shocking truth, the difference in individual thoughts will make this confusion and suspicion quickly become more and more crazy and even hysterical like a chain reaction. And when people's panic gradually gets out of control, they lose the ability to judge, and they are the best sharp tools for some people with intentions.
Let's not talk about what the people of the rest of the world will choose! Just to say that the common people of the new country and their homeland may not accept the continued colonial rule of the guy who has the evil intentions under the mask and may hide the faces of other races. Although according to the truth, there are indeed differences between the planes, both sides are human beings, and they do not necessarily have to fight each other. However, the question is, once this highly targeted public opinion offensive is launched, do you think that the Japanese Empire, which wants to bring about the death of Xinhua as soon as possible, will not add some subversive remarks to those fierce contents, and even deliberately mislead and distort the truth?
On October 5th, most of the day was still as uneventful as ever, and even the most gimmicky CNN6 (Science Channel} reported some special secrets about the mutation of human organisms caused by Tiberium radiation sickness at 7 p.m. But just ten minutes later, NHK, Japan's official radio station, which has been receiving miserable international ratings, published a terrifying and bizarre story on a routine news episode that lasted less than an hour! And this short report with pictures and texts is too shocking and novel due to the content information. In less than 12 hours after the report was broadcast, it was quickly pushed to the forefront of the confirmation and verification of the entire world news media.
On the morning of the second day, at a press conference of the Imperial Japan. As the current prime minister, Abe Ichijo has further convinced everyone that the information provided by the country's intelligence services is true and accurate. Even the reporters from all over the world who came to the scene in person answered the doubts and incomprehensions in their hearts one by one for those reporters from all over the world who flew overnight with long guns and short cannons in their hands.
"Hello, Honorable Prime Minister Abe! I'm Kassandra, a special correspondent for CNN 3, and I'm as nervous and excited as the people around the world who sat on TV last night and watched your country's news! However, I would like to say that although the published footage has been verified by a number of relevant agencies and departments from a professional and technical point of view, there is no flaw at all. But in the absence of a positive response from the official spokesperson of GDI, this is not very insignificant. To prove that those shocking materials are true! I am afraid that your country needs to do more to provide more strong new evidence to support previous views. After all, although the former director of national security, who has defected to Xinhuaguo, has spoken with a lot of weight, his current embarrassing situation also seems to make people feel that there is something going on in all these things. And even if what the testimony says is indeed reliable, it seems that the declining position of your country in the current state of war with Xinhua still makes people think about it! ”
In response to the sharp question of this young female reporter with blonde hair who seems harmless to humans and animals, Abe Ichichi, who has taken the initiative to take on the role of spokesperson at this moment, is now like 10,000 grass and mud horses churning up and down. Originally, he had secretly sent someone to take care of everything that followed last night, as long as he continued according to the script he had memorized before, then the most critical second step of the plan could be a perfect curtain call. But who would have thought that the behavior of this actor who took the money and didn't play according to the routine really made him quite depressed and embarrassed at the moment. But soon, the cunning old fox came up with a sloppy way to deal with it after his eyes turned a corner. After all, there was not only one person on the list of reporters attending this press conference, except for reporters from Xinhua and other pro-China countries. And those undisciplined people who only seek news are legal, and all they need is more exciting new news, that's all!
"Ahem, yes! Miss Cassandra's question is indeed quite pointed, but it is not clear to explain the reason for it in a sentence or two. As the Prime Minister of a country, my official duties are also quite busy, so in order not to delay the time and opportunity for others to ask questions, I can only apologize to say that your questions have not been answered satisfactorily for the time being. But it doesn't matter, because if anyone who has doubts about this can watch a special program of NHK radio in a few days, I think the problem in everyone's mind will be solved. After saying this, Prime Minister Abe Ichichi, who skillfully avoided the trouble, finally let go of his hanging heart, but the blonde beauty who brought him a little trouble didn't seem to intend to let the other party go like this, so a series of sharp questions and questions continued to be staged in the subsequent conversation.
"Prime Minister, please forgive me for being presumptuous. However, as for your report, the Xinhua government, which is ruled by an alien plane, uses clones in an anti-human way and even wantonly transforms ordinary people to serve as cannon fodder on the battlefield when there are not enough soldiers, I think it seems unfair to draw conclusions now without a third-party investigation, after all, this is just your family's words are not enough to convince the public!
In addition, the story in the report that the other party came on a huge spaceship will be known to anyone with a little scientific knowledge. In the depths of the Red Zone, where a heavy ion storm is rampant, even the most heavily armored Mammoth tank cannot hold out for more than twenty-four hours without being destroyed, let alone the fragile human being able to work and live in it without being affected. Interestingly, the story in your report insists that the ship has been anchored here since 2047, which is hard to believe! After all, the reconnaissance satellite network system that GDI spent hundreds of billions of dollars to build covering every corner of the earth is not a useless ornament, how can it not be possible to find such a conspicuous target on the ground?
As for the spacecraft, which is only a few dozen kilometers long, less than ten kilometers wide and high, and has a total weight of 20,000 tons, the internal structure can accommodate nearly one billion people to live normally, and it can also have independent factories and large laboratories and even some other facilities and equipment. Even elementary school students who are poor in mathematics are afraid that after understanding the simple formula for calculating volume, they can calculate that the volume simply can't fit so many large things. ”
In the face of the aggressive offensive of a certain female reporter, in addition to secretly scolding her subordinates for being incompetent, she also cursed why this big-chested stinky woman was not harmoniously blocked by Xinhua in the zombie incident in Southeast Asia that year. After all, there are hundreds of pairs of eyes in front of him, and if the answer is not rigorous enough, his plan will be stopped. And because of the negative impact of deceiving people all over the world, it is not good that the prestige of his country will fall even more infamous than the Xinhua country and even the murderous terrorist organization NOD.
After thinking for a moment, Abe began his counterattack: "For your first question, I can tell you very responsibly that those sensational pictures and videos are not lies that we can make up. If you need a solid witness testimony, tomorrow I will arrange for you to meet with the person in the S-class prison in Hiroshima. We can also provide the machines that transform humans in the expansion film and the insect robots responsible for gathering intelligence, but this will have to be witnessed at the Tokyo Institute of Special Studies in the capital of our country. As for the second question, it seems complicated, but it is actually quite easy to understand. After all, as a high-level civilization that invades multiple planes, it would be too rude if it failed to achieve even some advanced shielding technology, protection technology, and space technology. ”
Journalist Kassandra continued to be questioned by giving the other party any respite: "But even if there is nothing wrong with the two articles you explained, is it too hasty to judge that the other party must be an evil invader and not a fellow Earth who happened to discover the alien ruins?" Besides, the other party's level of science and technology is already so much higher than ours, so why bother to negotiate with us instead of launching a war of aggression cleanly when it comes? ”
Someone who was upset and had a stiff smile on his face continued: "Miss Cassandra, for you Westerners, most of you may not know much about and find it difficult to understand what Sun Tzu says about military tactics in the Art of War. But I think the results of boiling frogs in warm water should be familiar! When the other party first arrived, he naturally didn't dare to act too publicly. In addition, the nuclear weapons technology that we humans have and the unstable Tiberium ore that is as unstable as a bomb all over the planet also invisibly restricts the use of the other side's advanced weapons. After all, their goal here is to occupy and enslave us, not to turn this place into a desolate ruin or a foolish idiot who will die in an all-out nuclear war! ”
When you say that, it seems that things are explained logically. However, even if all the inferences you say are valid, how can the Prime Minister explain the fait accompli of the new treaty of merger between Japan and South Korea a few days ago? After all, even if you help the other party resist the armed aggression of the barbaric and dictatorial Xinhua Kingdom, the process of changing from a guest to a host is a little too fast! And why is it that since the great turmoil in the capital, and then the signing of the merger treaty between the two governments at Shimonoseki, the country's network communication control and entry and exit control have not been lifted. Is it legal for the other government to hastily sign this humiliating treaty with your country without the consent of the whole people for a referendum? According to the official announcement issued by your country, the entire negotiation process lasted less than half an hour, and it seems that the other side has handed over the fate of his country in this way, which seems to be too child's play. Is there a dirty political deal or even irresistible military coercion? I think these are the facts that all peace-loving people in the world want to pay attention to! ”
After listening to the gunpowder-like questions, someone who didn't expect this kind of sudden incident and didn't make any preparations finally started to disappear at this moment. But maybe it's self-esteem, or maybe it's the embarrassment and humiliation of being refuted by a woman. Prime Minister Abe Ichijo, who could have blown away this female reporter who was obviously here to stir up the situation, still chose to hold on to the next question, which would completely plunge himself and the entire country into a catastrophe if he was not careful.
"I must stress at the outset that my country has come to assist the South Korean government in its resistance to the evil aggressors! It is by no means as rumored by the outside world to take advantage of the opportunity to fall into the well! As for the treaty on the merger of the two countries that the President of the Republic of Korea and himself signed a few days ago in Shimonoseki. From any point of view, it is fully in line with the most basic principle of equality and freedom in international law. There is simply no coercive behavior that some people wantonly speculate and fabricate! I hope that you will not always look at China's just behavior in safeguarding peace in Asia and the world from the perspective of the past, but should pay more attention to the crimes committed and will be committed against mankind since the founding of the People's Republic of China, a vicious wolf disguised as a human being. ”
Barely able to suppress the urge to explode, the polite Prime Minister, whom we had been behaving to the outside world, finally lost his breath a little. However, when the blonde girl who secretly received a larger grant from the military intelligence bureau of a certain country was planning to make persistent efforts to continue to exert pressure to force her to make a fool of herself, the impatient colleagues around him who had been waiting for a long time lost their due professional ethics. After all, Kassandra is not the only journalist who takes people's money, and there are many people who want to be famous and get exclusive reports. And the limelight of the live broadcast was basically stolen by this stinky girl. This is the most recent recruit with average qualifications {A little ability basically died in the last Southeast Asian zombie crisis.} Something that peers who want to take advantage of this opportunity to become famous will never tolerate going on.
No more exciting news! Then they can't become gold medal reporters because of this. So soon, at the moment when she just wanted to speak, she was forced out by their undisciplined peers in full view. Even in order to prevent this product from continuing to ask some strange questions that have nothing to do with this press conference and interfere with their plans to become famous, there are simply a few tall and powerful reporters who deliberately surround them in the middle, no matter how the other party struggles and shouts, they just don't let them take a step forward. It wasn't until the end of the long press conference, which lasted for more than six hours, that the men who acted as a human wall reluctantly let someone go.
However, it was precisely because of the press conference of the Imperial Japan that this embarrassing scene like a farce was broadcast live, and the result had an unexpected negative effect. Although this incident is really not the work of the Imperial Japanese Special High-tech Branch, which has a very bad reputation in the international community, because of the coincidence of the incident, many people prefer to believe that all this is just a conspiracy that little Japan can fabricate and smear Xinhua for its own interests. After all, in the Second Super World War of that year, they didn't cover up the tricks of conspiracy and conspiracy behind the backs of the two camps!
Although at this time-limited press conference, the new Japanese empire released a large number of almost irrefutable mysterious video materials, and even showed a lot of quite strong physical evidence a few days later. But because of the ridiculous scene that violated freedom of speech and even molested women in the live broadcast. As a result, their final publicity in the world media is quite unsatisfactory.
At this moment, Xinhuaguo, which is at the center of this storm, seems to be unusually calm both by the people at home and by the government and official institutions. Interestingly, this time, the communication restrictions and network blockings that had been in place for a long time were completely lifted during this period. And the ordinary people of Xinhua who learned about this strange story without any hindrance were not as surprised as international friends. As for why, I am afraid that it can only be said that similar rumors within Xinhua have reached an unprecedented height in the past few days. Compared with the ridiculous news that broke out in New Japan, the special information that appeared on some domestic websites is even more novel and shocking than these things!
When the mess is too numb to watch, it naturally doesn't have much lethality. After all, when truth and rumors are mixed up, who can tell the truth from the false? It seems that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China also made an unprecedented humorous joke on the official website of the new Japanese empire. That is to publish the pictures of the Sichuan Plain that present mosaics on the GDI electronic map.
It's just that in the coordinates of the spaceship's location that the other side said, except for the prop model of a larger Enterprise spaceship, except for the Tiberium ore group glowing with a faint green light and the ion storm hundreds of meters high, it seems that nothing special has ever existed!
